If there's a pool I love to hangout there and layout and get some sun. If I can ever find a second to get some sun, some Vitamin D, I will do so.

I love classic rock, rock and roll, that's the top notch. I love soul - bluesy music as well.

If my life had to be a song I would name it, 'Live every day like its your best day ever', because it pretty much is.

Music continues to remind me that its boundaries are limitless.

First thing I did when I found out I made it into the top 13 is I tried not to faint and you know, I took it all in and I really looked at the crowd and said a big 'thank you'.

I'd rather have people really be able to step back and get their money's worth and look at me as a true artist than somebody who is just regurgitating other material.

I believe a great performer is someone who sounds just as great live as they do in the studio and vice versa. They should know how to work the stage.

I'm going for something very raw and organic.

Music is not just a part of my everday life, I'm surrounded by it every minute.

My parents have basically just taught me the rules of the stage and everything since I was eight.

The kind of audience I'm speaking to is a very wide range of people.

The pressures of life and influence of society have caused many to become something and someone they are not. Remove the layers. Dig through the dust and debris. Find the genuine jewel - YOU.

Lenten fasts make me feel better, stronger, and more active than ever.

What I do is take the jewelry back to the jeweler and they redo the jewelry with the same gold from the last thing.

I never really know what I'm playing. I just follow what sounds good in my head and keep going.

When in Rome, do as you done in Milledgeville.

I'm always going to be under a microscope, and I haven't always handled it well.

Life is made up of constant calls to action, and we seldom have time for more than hastily contrived answers.

A girl can dazzle - just naturally!

I don't want to become known as just a body.

Because only in America, people trample others for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have.
